Towards Ambient Intelligence in the Classroom

This paper discusses an education-centric approach towards ambient intelligence in the classroom, raising fundamental requirements that should be taken into consideration, in order to efficiently provide genuine students' education enhancement. These requirements are addressed by an integrated architecture for pervasive computing environments, named ClassMATE, which facilitates all necessary mechanisms for context - aware ubiquitous computing in the classroom. Furthermore, a smart classroom prototype, incorporating the ClassMATE's infrastructure, is presented constituting the first test - bed for the study of the educational process in intelligent classrooms.
